Some people have are annoying in movie theaters?

Looks like Rick Romero has been scooped!

"Have are?" My brain not good after New Year's Eve party.

Since this author is complaining about loud "nail biters," I can only assume Bruce Maiman has a stick up his ass.

Flagrante delicto*

Hey fatso, you don't need that garbage-can-sized bucket of popcorn, but if you have to have it, when you shovel it in your pie-hole, don't chew it with your mouth open. Better yet, choke to death on it and do us all a favor.

Well EXCUSE me for using MY phone...
Alamo Drafthouse Response To Douchebaggery (new window)

Girl With The Dragon Tattoo? I can only hope he already saw Sherlock Holmes. Well, then again, he seems like a whiny girl trapped in a man's body.

If ever there was a movie to draw mouth breathing, nail biting, mini dog lugging, motor mouths like moths to a flame, that would be the movie.

Seriously people, add up all the ass-kicking females in the world, see that it is zero and let this sad, sad genre die an ignoble death.

LOVELY.

"Thanks for not coming back"

Also : I can see your screen. It is distracting.

When can I get a cell phone jammer? It doesn't need to be big, just a 20 foot radius will do. That would be great.

Yes. And this person said fragrante, as in fragrant, as in the author was referring to folks that smelled of too much perfume or BO.

Eh - one of the biggest reasons I buy popcorn at the movies is simply to mask the noise of other people eating.

Lip up fatty.

If the person in front of me whips out their cell phone during the movie to text or call I will kick the back of their chair until they stop.

Unless you're a little kid, just kick my seat one more time, I farking DARE YOU.

Kurmudgeon: Unless you're a little kid, just kick my seat one more time, I farking DARE YOU.

If you are on your phone or texting, I will be more than happy to oblige.

eltejon: I still prefer the theater over watching at home. I just choose my theater and time carefully.

People who want to watch a film go midweek. People looking for somewhere to take a date or hang out with their buddies go on weekends. I never get texters and talkers since I worked this out and go on a weekday.

I was at the theater years ago to see Shrek 3. It had been out for weeks, wasn't that awesome of a movie to begin with, and it was like 8pm on a weekday night. The theater was damn near empty. Naturally, with the choice of anywhere at all to sit, the family of 6 that rolled in 5 minutes after the movie started decided they needed to sit in the seats immediately infront of us. Yes, I tapped on the back of some kids seat with my foot, yes it was immature, and yes, it pleased me. I got even more entertainment from slouching down until my ass was hanging off the seat, and ripping a highly audible fart. The dirty looks I got from that kid after we left the theater were priceless.

I don't see what could possibly bother others if one is silently texting on their phone. Sure beats making a call!

rubi_con_man: When can I get a cell phone jammer?

Whenever you want. This is the internet, after all.

some moterfarker is gona snap one day, i'm already thinking of a headline to submit

The farking light.

Kurmudgeon: Unless you're a little kid, just kick my seat one more time, I farking DARE YOU.

When I go to a movie I make sure no one sits behind me. I just hate when that warm,gooy blob hits behind my ear.

Since my kids are now 13 and 16, I don't have to suffer through crap like "Chipwrecked" any more....but Gad, almost every time we go, no matter when we go....all of the behavior in that article (and more) goes on.

When Avatar came out, we had to sit through 2 3-4 year olds sprinting up and down the aisle and climbing over the seats during the whole movie, 3 incoming calls (all with full conversations), multiple textures, including one girl texting with TWO phones.

During Sherlock Holmes, (saw it early during a weekday), multiple texters, including someone with a full-blown iPad.

Folks, in a darkened movie theater, your phone is a distraction. In a 3D movie, it's even worse. I'm going to start bringing a paintball gun with a laser sight to the theater, and go BOOM! HEADSHOT! if I see your phone light up during the movie.

/would pay full movie price for first-run stuff at home. At least I like the company, and I make better popcorn.

Aww, poor baby doesn't like it when people silently text?

Movie theaters offer absolutely nothing that isn't better or less expensive at home, provided you have a halfway decent TV and/or computer.

hitlersbrain: Seriously people, add up all the ass-kicking females in the world, see that it is zero and let this sad, sad genre die an ignoble death.

But surely 11 year old girls in spandex can Kick the Ass of grown men who have trained for a decade? Also girls called Hanna can do the same? It was totally believeable that sticks for arms angelina jolie/cameron diaz/whoever could arm wrestle/box/kick fight huge men and beat them. Also every male is either psychopathic or a wimp (or destined to die so the female lead can remain single)

Makes total sense.

kokomo61: multiple textures

wow, advanced graphics!

The light is like a farking spotlight.

The article itself and most of the comments (especially all the CSBs) about what they did or would do in a movie theater confirms my decision to limit my movie watching experience to the comfort and sanity of my home with my 60 inch flat screen.

They just do it earlier - like I said earlier, I'd pay to see first-run stuff in my house. There's got to be a price point at which it makes sense.

...with more douchebaggery in return by the theater? Not a good example.

Hopefully someone has enough money to buy them out and replace their douchebaggery towards patrons with discretion.

Your moral "righteousness" will get you a few years in prison.

Thanks for being so considerate.

Who goes to movies where you can hear people biting their nails?

I disagree with the "littering" complaint. Leaving your garbage is part of the fun of going to a theater -- to me it is exactly like throwing peanut shells on the floor of a bar that allows that. I even tell the kids "just put the wrappers under your seat".

Yea, but those pesky laws are something to consider, too.

I once saw a couple of Chatty Cathys get nailed with a thrown soda. Totally soaked them both. Their dripping walk of shame from the theater was AWESOME!

/Coolest thing I ever saw.

One built into the dash, and one to carry to the bars, movies.

How would you feel if, during a movie, someone shined a small flashlight in your face?
